The UK’s leading independent air movement specialist Gilberts Blackpool has gone to court to prove its performance- the moot court at the University of Central Lancaster (UCLAN).

The UK’s legal market is growing- up 8% according to latest data- prompting a corresponding growth in demand for law degree courses. As a result, UCLAN needed to expand its moot court facilities, where students simulate legal proceedings ready for “real world’ experience, with all associated building works including an acoustic ceiling to minimise distracting sound and enable focus on the legal arguments.

Building services engineers Bay Building Services Ltd delivered the in-court ventilation to a concept produced by building services design consultancy Beech Jackson. 

Bay Building Services Ltd chose Gilberts’ Series MN multi-nozzle and Series GA spiral swirl diffusers ducted from an air ram unit and linked to a building management system to achieve the high induction, high air change levels needed to maintain the internal ambient temperature. To match the brief of keeping any distraction to the minimum, the Series MN diffusers were powder coated in white, and the Series GA in black, to blend into the acoustic ceiling.

Gilberts’ Series K fixed blade extract grilles in grey linked to a bespoke WHF high performance louvre with the blades set upwards ensure efficient extraction of the used air with 35Dba noise attenuation.

Matt Feather, Director @ Bay Building Services Ltd explained, “The design and build project was complex: what began as a small refurbishment turned into a much bigger scheme to meet UCLAN’s requirements. We know from experience that Gilberts will always deliver the quality of product at a competitive price, and have the capability to flex with a changing brief.”

All Gilberts’ products- standard lines and bespoke solutions- are designed and developed in accordance with BS EN ISO 9001:2015 quality standard in the company’s state of the art 140,000 ft2 facility in Blackpool.
